I'm enjoying all the comments. I guess I need to wait and see where (and even if) we're going before making a final decision. I think it'll come down to take it or sell it.

Thanks, everybody. From the comments, it sounds like selling it is the best option, especially since I have no control over how or where it will be stored.

My family may be going out of the country for 2-5 years. Uncle Sam will store my Jeep, but do I want him to? I'm sure the battery(s) and tires will need replacement when I get it back. Anything else that can go wrong over that time? We love our Jeep, but is it better to sell it and buy again...

Yep, want more positions than just half-way open with the cable.

Yep, want more positions than just half-way open with the cable.

Anybody have one of these? Any reviews? We just bought a couple of e-bikes that are just barely two long for the bed with the tailgate closed. Looking for something more adjustable than the one position the OEM tailgate cable provides...

A friend of my wife has an in-the-box never-installed hard top hoist that she bought a while back for her 2018 Wrangler. She wants to know if we want it for cheap ($50). What are the chances it would work for us? How similar are the hard tops? Think it's worth taking a chance on it? The box is...

Nope, this was when it was plugged in.

We made it! Got my Gladiator back with wiring harness replaced on Thursday afternoon. Finally made it to our campsite around 10pm Friday. So much more prep work than I anticipated, and more trips to the hardware store. But.... our first ever trip with an RV (and our 35th anniversary) was a...

I think I know what happened. This was suggested from someone on a camper forum, where I also posted the situation: "Could it be possible that when you were connecting the camper 7-Way cable to your tow vehicle 7-Way connector, that you accidentally reversed the connector upside down and tried...

This was with the camper plugged into shore power. I tried again with it disconnected and reading dropped to 12.6-12.7. Digging into the specs for the power distribution panel, it looks like it puts out 13.7V to charge the battery, when connected to AC. So this all makes sense now.

Thanks for the diagrams. Here's what I'm seeing when I take reading on the trailer plug, using the above diagram for a reference. Any 2 pins, except for Pin 4 (Aux) - 0V Pin4 (Aux) - Pin1 (Ground) - 13.7V Pin4 (Aux) - Pin2 (Brakes) - 13.7V Pin4 (Aux) - Pin 3 (Tail Lights) - 11.8 V Pin4 (Aux) -...

I think that's just it. The current was coming back on the Aux circuit, but it was high amperage. I'm sure that was quite enough to affect other wires in the bundle.

So, I got my multi-meter out and tested the cable. The camper is sending 13.7V 10+Amps back through the cable on the Aux circuit! I assume it's 10+Amps - my multi-meter maxes out at 10, and it was freaking out, with the probe leads getting warm within a few seconds. I'm assuming no well-behaved...

Went to hook up my camper yesterday and the lights weren't working. Checked the connector, and it was dead. Looked under the back bumper and all the wiring insulation is burned/melted off and individual wires are burned through. Any idea what would cause this? The camper was still plugged into...

I'm also thinking that if they adjust it when I pick it up from the dealer, I'm going to have to redo it when I have everything loaded up for our first weekend, to account for the extra weight in the camper and Jeep, right?

@Jaxmax for the win! It's a 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 ERD.

I guess I wasn't clear. They're charging me $995 total for WDH and installation, but the hitch cost on Amazon is around $400, so I put $600 for the installation. Still high.

We're getting ready to pull the trigger on a 23' camper with a decent end-of-season price. The dealer wants to charge us a grand ($995) to add a WDH (He said Curt E2, but the only E2 I could find is a Fastway E2, $380 on Amazon). A couple of questions: If I take it easy, am I ok to pull the...

Yep. Saw the posts. Ordered a set this afternoon.
